Bio
Michael is an occupational therapist. He graduated from the University of Queensland in 1983. After graduating he lived and worked in Toowoomba, Hobart, and Ballarat, primarily with children and young people for a few years. He moved to Botswana in 1987 to develop occupational therapy services at the two main referral hospitals. In 1991 he took up an occupational therapy research post at the National Injuries Centre, Stoke Mandeville Hospital, England. This lead onto a position as an occupational therapy lecturer at the University of Southampton, England from 1995 to 2003. In 2004 Michael returned to Australia to take up a lecturing position at Charles Sturt University. In 2005 he became course coordinator of the occupational therapy course, a position he still currently holds. He became an Associate Professor in 2011.
Michael’s research interest primarily focus on investigating the live experiences of people with disability, their significant others, and the professionals who work with them. He tends to use qualitative research approaches which are underpinned by biographical and phenomenological philosophies. However, he is also interested in mix methods, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, choosing the approach or approaches which will best address the questions being asked.
Michael’s research projects are eclectic in their nature. His masters level research looked at identifying the elements of effective grip for adults with a tetraplegic spinal cord injury. In his doctoral level research he worked with nine children with cerebral palsy to write and analyse their life stories. His more recent research interests have ranged from evaluating an older persons’ circus skills program, to investigating the participant of adults with brain injury living in regional, rural and remote areas, to working collaboratively with occupational therapy practitioners across Australia to develop a community of practice scholars, to understanding the nature and process of the disclosure of child sexual abuse in a regional area of Australia. He is passionate about conducting research in which there is collaboration and involvement between the researcher and the participants, to ensure that the participants voices are heard and are guiding the research process.
